Back in February, Vai was asked about what’s on his horizon. At the time, he told Full Metal Jackie, “A lot of tour prepping right now to continue the Inviolate tour because I had a solo record that came out a year ago. I’ve been touring my butt off on that. We did a wonderful run of Europe, a really great run in America and in March I go back out to Europe and Eastern Europe for a couple of months.”

The artist adds: “Then I come back and I’m doing another American leg for about two-and-a half months. Then in August it’s South America and Mexico and right after that, it’s Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, Asia… all those wonderful places. I think we’re going to end it with Africa and India and by that time it’ll be next Christmas.”
